Answer:
Condensation happens when molecules in a gas cool down as the molecules lose heat, they lose energy and slow down. They move closer to other gas molecules and finally the molecules collect together to form a liquid.
Explanation:
Answer:
mRNA: 3' AUG-AAU-GCU-GCC-GGU-GA-5'
amino acids : methionine, asparagine, alanine, arginine, proline
type of mutation: deletion, missense
Explanation:
The mRNA sequence is complementary to the DNA sequence. A always pairs with T, C always pairs with G. Except this is an RNA sequence not a DNA sequence, so T is replaced with U.
The mRNA sequence is translated into an amino acid sequence based on the triplet code. The triplet code for this sequence is shown in the attached picture. Each triplet signifies a specific amino acid. The codon can be identified from the table and placed in sequence. We can see that the new DNA strand has caused a new amino acid sequence. It has also left us with an incomplete sequence, as GA cannot signify an amino acid.
The type of mutation is a single base deletion. We can see that the base C is missing from the 9th amino acid in the original strand. As you can see, this has an ongoing affect on all the bases in the rest of the sequence, as it changes the way the sequence is organised into codons. This results in a missense mutation.
Answer:
<u>Passive transport</u>: It does not need any energy to occur. Happens in favor of an electrochemical gradient. Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are kinds of passive transport.
<u>Simple diffusion</u>: molecules freely moves through the membrane.
<u>Facilitated diffusion</u>: molecules are carried through the membrane by channel proteins or carrier proteins.
<u>Active transport</u> needs energy, which can be taken from the ATP molecule (<u>Primary active transport</u>) or from a membrane electrical potential (<u>Secondary active transport</u>).
Explanation:
- <u>Diffusion</u>: This is a pathway for some <em>small polar hydrophilic molecules</em> that can<em> freely move through the membrane</em>. Membrane´s permeability <em>depends</em> on the <em>size of the molecule</em>, the bigger the molecule is, the less capacity to cross the membrane it has. Diffusion is a very slow process and to be efficient requires short distances and <em>pronounced concentration gradients</em>. An example of diffusion is <em>osmosis</em> where water is the transported molecule.
- <u>Facilitated diffusion</u>: Refers to the transport of <em>hydrophilic molecules</em> that <em>are not able to freely cross the membrane</em>. <em>Channel protein</em> and many <em>carrier proteins</em> are in charge of this <em>passive transport</em>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried this process depends on <em>concentration gradients</em> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an <em>electrochemical gradient</em>. The <em>glucose</em> is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.
<em>Simple diffusion</em> and <em>facilitated diffusion</em> are <u>passive transport</u> processes because the cell <u><em>does not need any energy</em></u> to make it happen.
- <u>Active transport</u> occurs <em>against the electrochemical gradient</em>, so <u><em>it does need energy to happen</em></u>. Molecules go from a high concentration side to a lower concentration side. This process is always in charge of <em>carrier proteins</em>. In <u>primary active transport</u> the <em>energy</em> needed <em>comes from</em> the <em>ATP</em> molecule. An example of primary active transport is the <em>Na-K bomb</em>. In <u>secondary active transport</u>, the<em> energy comes from</em> the <em>membrane electric potential</em>. Examples of secondary active transport are the carriage of <em>Na, K, Mg metallic ions</em>.
